Dynamics 365 Chrome extension Levelup

If Sherlock Holmes needs his best friend Dr. Watson, any Dynamics 365 customizers with a bit of self-respect needs “Level up”. “Level up for Dynamics 365/Power Apps” is a web extension for Chrome and Firefox created by Natraj Yegnaraman to enable power users to quickly perform advanced/hidden actions in Dynamics 365/Power Apps.

The tool is composed of four parts:

  • The FORMS tab
    • This is the main screen displayed when opening the extension. It contains in my opinion the most useful tools, like:
      • The “Logical Names” feature that displays logical names for fields, tabs and sections in the current form
        • Dynamics 365 Chrome extension Levelup
      • The famous “God Mode” that makes all mandatory fields optional, hidden fields/tabs/sections visible, and all read-only fields editable
      • My favorite “Open Record in Web Api” that opens a new tab with the current record Web API JSON data
  • The NAVIGATION tab
    • Contains multiple shortcuts to open specifc pages of your environment
    • Special mention to the “Open record by ID” feature, that is very useful when debugging some code
